The True Cost of Lice

“I Cannot Afford to Have My Child Treated by The Texas Lice Squad!”
A Common Misconception

- Penny Warner, RN, NE-BC

The average family spends approximately 3 to 6 months (some may even spend years) trying to rid their child of head lice. Typically, an over-the-counter product containing permethrin will be purchased for the first treatment and then repeated in 7 days. Two weeks later, the parents realize their child still has lice. Next, they will try another brand of a permethrin-based product and then, again, repeat in 7 days. Two weeks later, the lice are back! At this point, a search of the Internet will be done where lice and nit killing products ‘guaranteed’ to work abound. More products are purchased, more combing and cleaning is done; and yet, the lice and nits remain. Totally frustrated, as well as completely exhausted, a call is made to the family’s physician and a prescription for a more potent lice treatment is obtained. Two weeks later, the little critters are back! Parents will also typically dispose of personal items, such as brushes, hair ornaments, and pillows; as well as spend countless hours cleaning and doing laundry – most of which is totally unnecessary. So, let’s take a look at how much the average family will spend to treat ONE person:


RID Complete Kit x 2 treatments $49.98
NIX Complete Kit x 2 treatments $43.98
Products purchased from the Internet $100.00
Prescription Lice Treatments $265.98
Replace personal items that were discarded $150.00
TOTAL $609.94
(*The cost of missed work/school days not included.)
And they still have lice!

Costs that cannot be calculated:
  • Emotional stress
  • Time spent combing
  • Time spent cleaning
  • Stress on friendships
  • Stress on marriage & family
  • Lack of sleep/rest (for you & your child)
  • Applying pesticides/poisons to your child



  • Now let’s compare the above to a child treated at The Texas Lice Squad:

    Average treatment time is 45 minutes to 1-1/2 hours for females: $71.25 – 142.50
    TLS Terminator Comb (comes with a Lifetime Guarantee): $24.95
    Follow-up Visit $0
    30-Day Guarantee $0
    3 Months of Free Head Checks after treatment $0
    Education & Support $0
    TOTAL $96.20 - $167.45


    The family’s lice problem is resolved with one treatment, without the use of pesticides, chemicals, or neurotoxins. No countless hours are spent combing and cleaning, the stress level is relieved within 10 minutes of talking with one of our Lice Consultants, little time is missed from work and school, and everyone is able to go back to their normal routine.

    Can you afford to not have your child treated by the Texas lice Squad?
